Abstract: Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, in the first FR notice (87 FR 11425) published on March 1, 2022, EPA solicited comments and information pertaining to the distribution of offsite consequence analysis information under the accidental release prevention requirements; Risk Management Programs under the Clean Air Act Section 112(r)(7). The regulations include requirements for submittal of a Risk Management Plan (RMP) to EPA, which includes information on offsite consequence analysis (OCA) as well as other elements of the Risk Management Program. The Chemical Safety Information, Site Security, and Fuels Regulatory Relief Act (CSISSFRRA), published on August 4, 2000 (65 FR 48108), required the President, who delegated to EPA and the Department of Justice (DOJ), the responsibility to promulgate regulations on the distribution of OCA information, DATES: PO 00000 Frm 00038 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 59075 imposed minimal information and recordkeeping requirements. In accordance with the final rule, the Federal Government established 55 reading rooms at Federal facilities geographically distributed across the United States and its territories, where the public may read, but not mechanically copy or remove, paper copies of OCA information for up to 10 stationary sources per calendar month. The public may also obtain OCA information that the Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) in whose jurisdiction the requestor lives or works, is authorized to provide. The final rule also authorizes and encourages State and local government officials to access OCA information for their official use, and to provide the public with read-only access to OCA sections of RMPs for sources located within the jurisdiction of the LEPC where the person lives or works and for any other stationary sources with vulnerability zones extending into the LEPC’s jurisdiction. EPA also established a Vulnerable Zone Indicator System (VZIS) which informs any person located in any state whether an address specified by that person might be within the vulnerable zone of one or more stationary sources, according to the data reported in RMPs. The VZIS is available on the internet. Members of the public who do not have access to the internet are able to obtain the same information by regular mail request to the EPA. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA’s regulations in 40 CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: State and local agencies and the public. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Required to obtain or retain a benefit (40 CFR 1400). The annual respondent universe for this ICR is 315 state and local agencies, LEPCs and individuals (public). The total includes 15 State agencies and three LEPCs that send EPA letters of request for OCA data, five states that experience reading room visits, and three LEPCs that hold five public meetings each year. The public component of the total includes 15 individuals who visit Federal and State reading rooms each year and 262 individuals who request VZIS data. The three LEPCs that hold public meetings are assumed to be the same three LEPCs that send letters of request for OCA data.

Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Group I Polymers and Resins (40 CFR part 63, subpart U) were proposed on June 12, 1995; promulgated on September 5, 1995, and amended on: June 19, 2000; July 16, 2001; December 16, 2008; and April 21, 2011. These regulations apply to existing and new elastomer product process units (EPPU) and associated equipment, including waste management units, maintenance PO 00000 Frm 00039 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 wastewater, heat exchange systems, and equipment required either by or utilized to comply with this Subpart located at facilities that are major sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) and are classified in the Group I Polymers and Resins source category. The Group I Polymers and Resins source category includes the following categories: Butyl Rubber Production, Epichlorohydrin Elastomers Production, Ethylene Propylene Rubber Production, Hypalon Production, Neoprene Production, Nitrile Butadiene Rubber (NBR) Production, Polybutadiene Rubber Production, Polysulfide Rubber Production, and Styrene Butadiene Rubber and Latex Production. New facilities include those that either commenced construction, or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart U. In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. They are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to NESHAP. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Facilities with elastomer product process units (EPPU) and associated equipment. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, subpart U). Estimated number of respondents: 19 (total). Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, and semiannually. Total estimated burden: 56,400 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $12,000,000 (per year), which includes $5,230,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is an insignificant increase in burden from the most recently approved ICR due to an adjustment. This increase (not reflected in the rounded total) is not due to any program changes. The adjustment increase is due to a correction of the calculation used to summarized the burden estimates for individual reporting requirements. Since there are no changes in the regulatory requirements and there is no significant industry growth, there are no E:\FR\FM\29SEN1.SGM 29SEN1

    Abstract: Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, in the 
first FR notice (87 FR 11425) published on March 1, 2022, EPA solicited 
comments and information pertaining to the distribution of offsite 
consequence analysis information under the accidental release 
prevention requirements; Risk Management Programs under the Clean Air 
Act Section 112(r)(7). The regulations include requirements for 
submittal of a Risk Management Plan (RMP) to EPA, which includes 
information on offsite consequence analysis (OCA) as well as other 
elements of the Risk Management Program.
    The Chemical Safety Information, Site Security, and Fuels 
Regulatory Relief Act (CSISSFRRA), published on August 4, 2000 (65 FR 
48108), required the President, who delegated to EPA and the Department 
of Justice (DOJ), the responsibility to promulgate regulations on the 
distribution of OCA information, imposed minimal information and 
recordkeeping requirements.
    In accordance with the final rule, the Federal Government 
established 55 reading rooms at Federal facilities geographically 
distributed across the United States and its territories, where the 
public may read, but not mechanically copy or remove, paper copies of 
OCA information for up to 10 stationary sources per calendar month. The 
public may also obtain OCA information that the Local Emergency 
Planning Committee (LEPC) in whose jurisdiction the requestor lives or 
works, is authorized to provide.
    The final rule also authorizes and encourages State and local 
government officials to access OCA information for their official use, 
and to provide the public with read-only access to OCA sections of RMPs 
for sources located within the jurisdiction of the LEPC where the 
person lives or works and for any other stationary sources with 
vulnerability zones extending into the LEPC's jurisdiction.
    EPA also established a Vulnerable Zone Indicator System (VZIS) 
which informs any person located in any state whether an address 
specified by that person might be within the vulnerable zone of one or 
more stationary sources, according to the data reported in RMPs. The 
VZIS is available on the internet. Members of the public who do not 
have access to the internet are able to obtain the same information by 
regular mail request to the EPA. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, 
and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information 
unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB 
control numbers for EPA's regulations in 40 CFR are listed in 40 CFR 
part 9.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: State and local agencies and the 
public.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Required to obtain or retain a 
benefit (40 CFR 1400).
    The annual respondent universe for this ICR is 315 state and local 
agencies, LEPCs and individuals (public). The total includes 15 State 
agencies and three LEPCs that send EPA letters of request for OCA data, 
five states that experience reading room visits, and three LEPCs that 
hold five public meetings each year. The public component of the total 
includes 15 individuals who visit Federal and State reading rooms each 
year and 262 individuals who request VZIS data. The three LEPCs that 
hold public meetings are assumed to be the same three LEPCs that send 
letters of request for OCA data.

All other respondents are assumed to be unique.
    Estimated number of respondents: 15 (total).
    Frequency of response: As necessary.
    Total estimated burden: 663 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 
5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $29,800 (per year), includes $81 annual 
operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the estimates: EPA estimates a slight increase in the 
burden to respondents for this renewal compared to the previous ICR 
renewal. Even though reading room visits were greatly reduced, if not 
stopped altogether because of COVID 19 restrictions during the previous 
ICR period and reading room visits had been declining prior to the 
COVID restrictions because of the increased use of the website
